The series is due to star Coyote Ugly’s Melanie Lynskey, Moonlight’s Andre Holland, Carrie’s Sissy Spacek – and, as we can see from the new trailer, the guy who made murderous clowns sexy, Ii’s Bill Skarsgard.

But seeing as he’s not in his creepy clown getup, it’s not clear whether Bill will be reprising his role as Pennywise for the series.

The premise of the series combines the titles of and characters from a number of Stephen King novels, including It, Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, Misery and The Shining, with each episode concentrating on a different King tale.

The series is being produced by Star Wars’ JJ Abrams.

As far as trailer clues go, we’re pretty much stumped. We see a burning VHS tape, a hearse, a derelict house and a number of the lead characters looking glum.

At the end of the trailer a voice says: ‘You have no idea what’s happening here, do you?’

Spot on pal – not a clue.

But whilst the indications as to what will happen in this spooky Stephen King universe are few and far between, we have every faith that this adaptation will be as good as the last.

‘I had hopes, but I was not prepared for how good it really was,’ Stephen said in an featurette for the film. ‘It’s something that’s different, and at the same time, it’s something that audiences are gonna relate to.’

So if all this is getting you super pumped for some Castle Rock scares, then the series is due to arrive on Hulu for a ten-episode season in 2018, but an official release date hasn’t been given yet.
